She was a member of Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). Virginia loved her golf, bowling, playing bridge, gardening, reading and cooking.

Virginia was an exceptionally loving and caring person. She is survived by her two children, Katherine E. Mullen III of Villanova, Pa., and Andrew B. Leo of Holly Springs, N.C. She enjoyed the affection and devotion of four grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren who called her "Nana." Fortunately, she enjoyed excellent health until the final four months of her life.

No services will be held, at her request, and her ashes will be interred beside her husband in Hagerstown.
